I'm tearing my hair out a bit...

System was working great before upgrade for months.

Machine has onboard NIC on mobo.
PCIE NIC with 2 slots.

Flash drive boots fine, except during boot rc.inet reports bad numbers in line 30.

 

eth0 doesn't start

br0 is not found.

I thought maybe firmware on NICs got borked after upgrade, so I grabbed a Linux Mint USB flash boot I have and booted from it on same machine.

All 3 NICs light up, router assigns DHCP no problem.

My Unraid was last a static IP. When I look at diags and network.config, I see a manual IP listed, with DHCP. Shouldn't that work like manually setting an IP, but with a DHCP router assignment?

In short, I've tried a number of different ways to manually turn on a gateway or routing table. I've been at it for hours.

Every IP set command I've tried ends in an error - exmpl - 

sudo route add default gw xxx.xxx.x.xxx 

SIOCADDRT: network is unreachable

 

I've read that I should just delete the network.cfg and Unraid will rebuild its own from default. I've tried that a few times and it doesn't work, I think because the eht0 and br0 aren't starting at all.

It seems my BIOS and host drivers / cards are working.

This seems like it must be solvable with configs and commands, but I'm not a network guy. I'm a media guy that can do lots of configs / conversions / python, etc with CLI, but manual networking setups via cli is not something I know at all -

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated

You have the Realtek driver blacklisted, so it doesn't load, delete /config/modprobe.d/r8169.conf and reboot

I saw that, and I assumed it was correct! Thank you SO MUCH!

Welp, I did that. It shows br0 is up as it boots. still bad numbers in inet.

Still doesn't load a routing table. I think I'm gonna delete network.cfg? will Unraid force load its own then?

 

New diags please.
